Time for someone else to take the title

So what town wants to host this year's edition?

No more 'Cocktail Party'?
Georgia prez objects to tag on Dawgs-Gators game

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- University of Georgia President Michael Adams objects to the phrase "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" to describe the annual Georgia-Florida football game.

And he has asked CBS Television and the city of Jacksonville, Fla., to not use the phrase when promoting the game the network televises each year.

The request is part of Adams' push to curb on-campus alcohol abuse and change UGA's image as a party school.

... but this event is off campus. So how does this curve on-campus drinking and the image as a party school? Wouldn't you curb that image by not having a bunch of drunken frat boys screaming at the ESPN Gameday Crew when Tennessee comes to town for a Friday night game?

The Largest Cocktail Party is the least of their concerns in my opinion.
